About Girl Scouts of
North-Central Alabama
We're over 13,000
strong—9,500 girls and 3,800 adults in 36 counties in the state of Alabama who
believe girls can change the world. It began over 100 years ago with one woman,
Girl Scouts' founder Juliette Gordon "Daisy" Low, who believed in the
power of every girl. She organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12,
1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and every year since, we've made her vision a
reality, helping girls discover their strengths, passions, and talents.
Today we continue the Girl
Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make
the world a better place. Girl Scouts is the preeminent leadership development
organization for girls. Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama is a United Way
partner. To volunteer, reconnect, donate or join, visit www.girlscoutsnca.org or
